Hello, i was looking through some of the interview questions they ask K1 candidates in the k1 interview and one of them was

Why are you getting married in the U.S. and not in your home country?

what is the purpose behind that question? if you get married in the home country of the alien fiance(e) AFTER receiving the K1 visa, and then go to the US to get married over there, doesnt that annul the K1 visa?

Its just a question. They asked my husband what colour my bedroom walls were. He said "a sort of white - but not really white, like off white" and I said "you know that?!?!???!"

An appropriate answer would be the truth, why are you chasing the K-1, is it cheaper? Faster? More family in the US?

Good luck

Edit to add - yes, if you get married in your home country and then attempt to travel on a K-1...well, that's a really bad idea. The K-1 is for marriage in the US. If you want to get married in your home country, chase the Cr-1

Because if you are planning visa fraud and just using the K-1 as a means to enter the US and live there, then that's how one might do it.

If you the couple are more serious about being married to each other, why not get married in the beneficiary's country? That's the quickest way to get married to each other.Now for some, like my situation at the time, it would have been more expensive and prohibitive to enter her country and become married. For other countries where I could have travelled more easily, then that question might hold more strength.

LOL. I don't know if annul is the correct legal term, but you would be committing immigration fraud if you entered the USA on a K-1 visa already married.

Maybe a better term is invalidate?

Why are you getting married in the U.S. and not in your home country?

I remember being asked that question during my interview and my answer was "My fiance is in the military and we want to be together the fastest way possible and that is through K1 visa. I understand that if I get approved, I am required to marry him in the US. This is why we opted to get married there instead of here in the Philippines."

Thanks

You can assume that motivation behind all questions are to sniff out frauds.

So that question is to see if they can see any evidence of you just wanting to
